    LR3 BMS Reset for Battery AGM Charging

    I don't think there is a "reset" that I am aware of I have run AGM for just over 2 years now, after 2 dead interstates (each died before year 2) all H8 size From day 1 on the AGM, I chose to supplement with a battery charger 1-2x per month - Seems to be doing well so far

    LR3 central locking failed?

    I would also bet on dead fob battery, if the following still work for you: 1. can you manually lock or unlock using the key slot under the removable driver's door handle panel? 2. can you still start the LR3? If so, cheap DIY fix (you tubes has videos)

    DRL's Blackout Headlight Mod

    Nice work! As for the front plate - just remove it, and carry it in the back. If you get questioned - show them and say it fell off and you haven't re-installed it yet. Or mount it to the roof rack like the brits. Maybe CA is (surprisingly) more lax - I have run a front German plate, or none...

    Mityvac...

    Well, I'd say the time-sert is your way to go. After reading up a bit on it, looks like you will have to drill and tap the threads for the insert Not sure how this will be different in the end just simply cleaning up the threads for a "next size up" plug. Both will create shavings?

    Mityvac...

    yowch. have you gotten a 2nd or 3rd opinion/confirmation for the labor involved? Abran or LR Techniker (other forum?) are fair and knowledgable about procedures

    Mityvac...

    Oversize doesn't cross-thread (unless the wrong one was used) They just cut a little deeper in the existing thread Time-sert or Helicoil should work - give it a shot I know shavings aren't ideal near oil, but could you tap new threads and go up a full metric size? Absolute worst case - is a...

    Mityvac...

    Gotcha. How bad is it? I had success going with an oversized Dorman Plug in my Jetta. I think they even come in a double-oversize.

    LR3 from stock to Overlandish?

    I would suggest getting your hands on an ozone generator. It will kill everything - and also eliminate any odor - in places you can't reach with cleaning.

    Mityvac...

    Is the goal avoiding a buggered drain plug? Not being under the vehicle? Not dropping the skid plate? If you can get most oil out with a mityvac, you could just change more often so the residual mix diluted quicker. But you still have to get underneath to change the filter, so I am not sure I...

    Brand New LR3 LR4 OEM Hitch LR040248

    Long story short, I searched for a long while for a used one before I gave up and bought a new one. Naturally, I immediately found a good used one. (which I then bought with hopes to re-coup most of my cost by selling the new one) So I am selling the brand new, unused, original packaging only...
